The man should just read the quran. In surah 2:191 it clearly states that all lands that were one under islamic control must always remain under islamic control. So if Israel was Islamic, nobody Muslims would have a problem with the way Israel defends itself. The proof of this is that there are millions of Muslims being murdered by Muslims in Sudan and Syria and Afghanistan and I certainly have seen no Islamic protest in Europe or the US that call for a ceasefire or that one side is occupying the land of the other side. The reason is Muslims who are not involved do not care when Muslims murder Muslims. But when it means getting land back under Islamic control then Muslims care a lot because that is demanded in the quran. So the problem for the violence in Gaza and Israel is not Israel, but Islam.

@@KamranSher and Avi Shlaim also. It's amazing.

Because the Zionists give no shits about the truth, they often cast Norm as *profiting* from his criticism of Israel and "The Holocaust Industry" (his second book, IIRC). Down is up, left is right and murder is freedom.

Джоуи Рамон Anyone who tells the truth about the Zionist filth is an immediate enemy. "Down is up, left is right and murder is freedom." I'll add something if I may, truth is a lie and a lie is the truth, justice is injustice, and injustice is justice. pillage is justified, mass murder is justified as well. That is the genocidal mindset of the zionist creed.

and how lovely is that he has Jewish heritage. He is the kind of human that humanity needs as an example of morals, justice and ethics. Not tribalism, but a new world. It is a sad reminder to see which direction we are heading and which forces are stronger. The forces that have no compassion, no reason. Just plain, ugly, uncivilized selfinterest.

the bravest academic in america

@L you are missing the point and pushing something that were/are the cause of the most atrocious crimes in history: tribalism and religious extremism. It WAS inevitable from an evolutionary perspective. It WAS. Now, it IS inevitable to grow behind it.

@L nope. I am not missing your point. I was marveling his ability to be able to disconnect from "his tribe's and their religious justification" of the atrocities in Israel and against Palestinians. I was marveling him as a individual with universal ethics, not his religion's belief system that many puts first, even before other people's basic rights. I was thinking that he could be an other Netanyahu, but he isn't. Personal responsibility and no group thinking. Why it is so "outrageous" for you?

@L THIS is a jewish rabbi who is more what you were writing about : "Rabbi Dovid Feldman says Israeli authorities raised Sheikh Jarrah evictions to spark outrage among Palestinians" "We are proud to say that we criticize Israel, which is a true, and maybe the greatest violation of Judaism. We are proud to say that we criticize Israel, because they're a violation of any kind of justice,"

Because he is honest, and he knows very well this subject. He is a model for all the jew, and more if they are also descendants from people who have been through nazi’s “camp of the death”.

Hillary Clinton is a terrible actor you can clearly see a smile break through multiple times

I agree with your sentiments exactly. Fearlessness like that is pure power.

It has cost him his post , and maybe his career .

@@mikeyom1 Oh really? Do elaborate.

We here

Watching this in oct 2023👌

Thank you for your comment

He says Hamas (de facto) recognizes Israel and renounces violence. I stopped watching at that point. He is not to be taken seriously. An extremely unbalanced viewpoint that reeks of confirmation bias favoring only one side of this conflict.

we are just in a rerun 😅

and no punishment by any. that in itself answers all questions. oh, an dual citizenship in congress helps considerably.

Same excuses for targeting hospitals and residential complexes

Shocking that absolutely nothing has been done by the world and the Palestinian people still suffer and die !!

The Palestinians don't want to suffer anymore. I will tell them how to do it, STOP SHOOTING, and life becomes peaceful and normal. Are you capable of A peaceful, constructive life? I don't think so.

@@mikeyom1 Israel never wanted peace. You never wanted peace when your goal was to steal someone else's land. The Palestinians never gave you their land, you colluded with the british colonizers to steal their land. If you tried to kill me to steal my land, then you are a terrorist, and I would have every right to defend myself against your terrorism.

UK 2024 Free Palestine🇦🇪

For him facts truly don’t care about your feelings

@L Sure wish Finkelstein would admit he's been dead wrong all along about the two state solution, not to mention his absolutely shameful condemnation of BDS.

@Linda Leonard I mostly agree. Here in America, we have people who take the Israeli point of view about the United States. They say that if the nice, white people who founded America should ever become a demographic minority, it will mean the destruction of America. We properly regard such people as profoundly psychotic and point them in the direction of the nearest mental hospital. But somehow this preposterous, overtly racist argument has currency because it's insisted upon by Israelis? I don't get it. If the definition of Israel is a state that maintains a Jewish super-majority by a suite of racist preferential laws and a brutal subjugation of the non-Jewish population, than the "destruction" of Israel is something all decent-minded people should support unequivocally. As to Finkelstein, he's lost the plot. It's hard to even follow what he's saying any more and no one agrees with him. I think his statements castigating supporters of a single state, (including luminaries like Pappe and Gideon Levy) has been shameful as has his vituperative condemnation of BDS is just awful. Here we have so many bright and dedicated young people taking time from their jobs or their studies to do something to exert pressure on Israel and make SOME change in the ghastly state of affairs there and Finkelstein comes along to pour cold water on them and call them a cult. I think it's a disgrace (and I told him so).

@Linda Leonard ps: as to Israel's legality under international law, who knows? I certainly think there is very solid ground to question Israel's legitimacy as a state for a whole variety of reasons, from its refusal to declare its borders and its hour by hour expansion by violent conquest to the fact that the establishment of the jewish state came with a variety of explicit conditions, virtually all of them violated by Israel almost as soon as the documents were signed. As one Palestinian sensibly put it "if I agree to sell you my car, you take the car and never pay me for it, do you still own it?"

I am surprised his videos are still on.. take notes because for sure this videos will little by little disappear 🫥

Sharing 4 the public and you?

Unfortunately, I think because he's just so magnificent God decided we only get one of him. May this man be granted every good in this world and the next. He deserves it. Wish we had more like him and Gabore.

Still lying your face off.

But how do you end this?Surely it depends on the real wishes and intentions of Israel if your to resolve it peacefully Israel must be on the same page.

I love him too. Awesome 😊

Love to see you again. The world desperately needs you. My heart is broken. I'm sad and angry. Just days out since the Gaza hospital bombing. 😢

We are in Jan 2024 and this is exactly how the situation is. Still, amazing analysis.

The Nobel peace prize is a scam the irony is that the Nobel peace prize is given to war criminals such as Nethenyahu

He's censored I think. If he was pro israel he would be a king somewhere. The world needs more brave people to stand up for what is right. #legend

Totally agree. He is a brilliant yet humble human.

I’m really into Chomsky and I thought he was pretty obscure. I only recently learned of Norm through Zei on Twitter and I’m just as surprised I hadn’t heard of him before

So do I!

If you loose everything, but not your Love and inner light you must struggle for human justice, like him. May wakan tanka bless you. 🕊️🕊️🪔🕊️🕊️

He could do more for Palestine from the Knesset, lecturing is cool but nobody of any great significance listens 🙉 meaning nothing changes, he should exercise his right of return, run for office and turn his outrage on the fascists destroying Palestine 🇵🇸

2023

I have yet heard anything accurate or of value from this guy. His ridiculous comment “just end the conflict”.. yeah, ok.. Israel removes the blockade and puts down its security, Hamas will overrun Israel in hours murdering & raping every Jewish citizen they can find! Nothing he has said is grounded in reality!

it’s been 75 years and opinion has just barely begun to shift

@@ceaseless246 yes you are right. I was looking at the date of the video which was 2015.

@@laconja1 💯 i was just adding to your statement

@@ceaseless246 Ok Thanks

And it's 2 years after your comment and here we are again.

Israelis are known for speaking out on any subject . Even Arab parties in the Knesset, who are on record wanting to destroy the State, have freedom to speak freely.

@@friendinpotentia Sure. Tell that to Ilan Pappe, who had to leave the country because his two sons were constantly threatened with murder, or journalist Gideon Levy, who must travel everywhere with bodyguards, lest his disgusting lunatic countrymen kill him for failing to support racism and apartheid.

Lol they just can’t do it on one topic. Otherwise you will be labeled as anti semetic right?

yeah those stupid childish labels they put on people for having opinions on the conflict really annoys me to.... They also label finkelstein and other jews who speak out against israels strong arm tactics as "self haters"

JollySmash I always say, Zionism is a political movement, not an ethnic group. That's why even Jews can oppose Zionism. Hence my opposition to Israel is a political view.

JollySmash Until people find out i'm Jewish, I'm an anti-Semite. Then I'm labeled as a deranged self-hating Jew.

***** Obviously I'm not a religious person and I don't mean to offend anyone. There is a strong religious component to this as well, apart from the obvious military and financial reasons anyone can cite and which you pointed out and I apologize in advance but here goes nothing: There are strong roots of Christian Zionism which predate Jewish Zionism. Evangelical Christians are hell bent on Jews taking over Jerusalem and rebuilding the third temple. The idea is that we build the temple, G-zus comes and then we get shafted (say for a few thousands who find Jesus. I personally found him on google. typed in Jesus and there he was). It's in the last book of the New Testament. PS: This is no joke. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism It's been happening since 1840 and evangelists are quite strong in america and fuel the Israeli lobby and there is no need for me to say this. No president will be elected unless professing his/her faith 100 times a day. PS PS: And the first kind of Jewish Zionists think Israel should not exist unless the Messiah comes first as the prophecy in the Old Testament says but these are labeled anti-Zionists these days. So IMHO what you said is the closest approximation of the truth I can think of with what I know. But what do I know? I'm just self hating.

TechnocraticBushman Bless your heart for calling a spade a spade.

They will always be modern thinkers. What they say about relations of power has always been applicable since the time of Genghis Khan and will always be.

Id love to seen Ben Shapiro debate him, lol Ben might end up crying anti semitism

Chomsky is a gate keeper though. Is Finkelstein as well?

Sadly, Chomsky will ultimately be remembered as a Zionist gatekeeper - you can do a search "Chomsky gatekeeper" and see for yourself. Ultimately, he supports the Deep State because it supports Israel. Funny how he never encourages third parties. Vote Green. Finklestein is a gatekeeper as well.

Agreed. Impressive man

Whaa?

Did you watch the beginning of the video; when he almost looses it? That's what I'm talking about - either that or I'm on my period! lol

Anogoya Dagaati Too much fluoride perhaps ?

Anogoya Dagaati I understand what you said. So true. I stopped listening to this conversation years and years ago. And now that I'm checking in again, I see it hasn't changed at all. The only difference is that there are Jewish people _in Israel_ who are vocal about ending the idiocy and are friends with Palestinians _intentionally and visibly._ The ignoring and bloodshed has only increased. Clearly there is something going on here that has nothing to do with Nationalism or land or territory or whatever the fuck they are claiming. There is something behind the curtain that is driving this. All the talk-talk is just a distraction. Check Naomi Klein for some sanity. Peace,

Anogoya Dagaati You're on u r period.

I agree, l love you Norman

He is like the Candice Owens of the Jews. A token jew.

he's a great man

He sounds like he is drugged up. Too many personal references to "insanity ."
